Narcotics Interdiction & Passenger Security Risk Assessment
Behavior Analysis and Observational Techniques
Basic Training
Cayman Islands
November 14 – 18, 2011
How to detect balloon swallowers (Internal Swallower / Internal Carrier), and techniques used by passengers to smuggle narcotics concealed in bags, cargo, and on their bodies (Narcotics Body Carriers). Effective techniques in intercepting narcotics at Airports, Ports, and Transportation Terminals by Observing and Analyzing the Deceptive Behavior of the Narcotic Smugglers.
Narcotics Interdiction and Behavior Analysis
Observational Techniques and Behavior Analysis, known as Behavior Profiling, for Customs Narcotics Interdiction at Airports, Sea Ports, and other ports of entry targets Drug Smugglers, even when hiding among the crowd of passengers. Defining the thin line, between truth and deception, in a setting where you are observing dozens or even hundreds of passengers at a time.
Passenger Security Screening
Rover Concept – Focused directly on the greatest risk, “The Human Factor,” this predictive passenger screening for Law enforcement agencies brings practical application to Customs Enforcement, and Anti Terrorism initiatives. Customs agents learn to understand Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI), to make observations of Passengers in a Terminal Setting or while performing other airport duties. Behavior Profiling can increase the officer’s ability to identify, evaluate, and effectively communicate across the department or while interacting with other security or Law Enforcement agencies.

Passenger Security Screening – AVSEC
3 Day Course
Dynamic and practical Training program for Officers, security checkpoint supervisors, and surveillance CCTV operators, provides the frame work in the detection of unlawful and criminal activities thru a logical, systematic and simple Passenger Screening Process. Officers make observations of Passengers in a Terminal Setting in what is normally called Behavior Profiling to identify, evaluate, and effectively communicate Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI) across the department or while interacting with other security or Law Enforcement agencies.
Behavior Detection Training Modules
Observation of Behavior in Passenger Screening is divided in three main modules:
- Terrorism in Aviation. Limitations of technology, threat analysis, means of aggression, current threats, developing trends, legal limitations, Aviation Security Directives, Security codes, regulations, and best practices (AVSEC & TSA).
- Behavior Profiling Dynamics for officers in a terminal setting including airport access areas, lobby, check-in counters, transit lounges, and boarding gates. Officers, security checkpoint supervisors, and surveillance CCTV operators are trained to identify Deceptive Behavior Indicators (DBI), communication dynamics, verbal and non-verbal symptoms of deception, interviewing techniques for non-law enforcement officers, question formulation, and screening passengers.
- Observation Techniques. Analyzing supportive information for profiling, including airline tickets, passports, other documentation, document forgery, intelligence gathering, interagency communication, and the application of the Rover Concept to Aviation Security.
Two versions of this course are available, one for Law enforcement and Government authorities, and the other for Non Law Enforcement agencies that share security responsibilities within the Transportation Industry.

Observational Techniques and Behavior Analysis
Transportation Security can no longer rely on equipment alone to face its greatest risk, “the human factor.”
In order to mitigate current and foreseeable risks in the transportation Industry, it requires “Security Conscious” frontline customer service and security personnel that can effectively identify, communicate and respond to “suspicious and criminal behavior.”
Our “Observational Techniques and Behavior Analysis” course is focused directly on the “human factor.” It is a dynamic, practical, and intensive program geared to the detection of “Deceptive Behavior.” Be it a terrorist, drug smuggler, criminal, or anyone who is attempting to violate established rules.
This training is geared to complement your existing Customer Service, Security, and Emergency Response training programs, and deals head-on with issues that could hinder the detection process, such as “Racial Profiling”, and agencies’ past practices, narrowing the gap to “Deceptive Behavior.”
This “Deceptive Behavior” can be observed, recognized, interpreted, verbalized, and communicated effectively to Security Personnel and other Authorities. Thus bringing the global concept required under the different security codes and programs to their corresponding duties, and adapting their natural skills to your Transportation Security plan.
Two versions of this course are available, one for Law enforcement and Government authorities, and the other for Non Law Enforcement agencies that share security responsibilities within the Transportation Industry.

Behavior Observation Techniques and Passenger Screening
The Observation of Behavior and the Techniques necessary to analyze Behavior during the Passenger Screening Process at airports, Cruise ship, and public transportation terminals require specialized training that can discern between the nervous but innocent traveler, and the subject that is trying to gain illegal access, the one that is attempting to bypass a restricted item through security, or the one that is travelling with altered documents.
Behavior Observation Techniques for officers responsible for Airport Security, Port Security, Bus and Rail Security requires an understanding of Human Behavior in a Transportation Terminal Setting, the ability to select passengers out of a line in the screening process based on Deceptive Behavior, known as “Behavior Profiling,” and an understanding of the current rules and regulations that guide the security of the transportation system.
Transportation Security and Behavior Observation Techniques
Understanding and knowing how a perpetrator behaves in a bus, train, sea port, or airport terminal is the first step towards passenger security screening. When we consider that 99% of the traveling public is not involved in an illegal activity that requires action on the part of the officer, Security Interviewing Techniques play a crucial role on How “Deceptive Behavior” or “Tell Tale Indicators” are recognized, identified, and communicated across all groups responsible for the security Screening of the passengers. “Behavior Profiling” defines the ground work for Behavior Observation Techniques. This process requires a common terminology between the Airline Security, Airport Security, Port Security, Ground Security, Transportation Security, and Law Enforcement. This concept has slowly gained the acceptance and inclusion into the regulations and codes that guide Transportation Security.
Behavior Observation Techniques require a common language based on “Deceptive Behavior” for all stake holders in Transportation Security Screening, taking in consideration communication among Law Enforcement and non Law Enforcement groups. Behavior Observation Techniques in a Ground, Port, and Airport Terminal Setting can improve screening of Passengers at Security checkpoints, and expedite Passenger Screening. Ultimately, it is the constant adaptation of the Transportation Security codes and regulations to include and recognize the application of Behavior Observation Techniques in Transportation Security.

Deceptive Behavior and Transportation Security
OBSERVATIONAL TECHNIQUES AND BEHAVIOR ANALYSIS
The Wall Street Journal stated in an article (08/15/02) “Silent Signals” Security Concerns Brings New Focus on Body Language.
“Body Language used to be something teenagers paid attention on first dates. But since 9/11, the science of spotting and sorting out nervous but innocent behavior from deceptive and threatening behavior is gaining newfound respect among law-enforcement officials particularly as a way to prevent terrorism.”
Effective Training Has Never Been More Vitally Important Since 9/11!
Behavior Analysis and Observational Techniques is an intensive program geared to the detection and interception of “deceptive behavior,” be it a drug smuggler, terrorist, or other criminals. Designed specifically for the Transportation Industry, including Aviation, Maritime, and Mass Transit ground systems, and applied on terminal and vessel settings.
The course draws on the participant’s personal experience, presents the theory behind the behavior, real life case studies, role-playing, airport and seaport practical exercises, methods of concealment, field interviewing, and interrogation techniques. Participants benefit from practical, usable techniques tailored to their work environment, and within the scope of their responsibilities.
This training deals head-on with issues that could hinder the detection process, such as “Racial Profiling”, and agencies past practices, narrowing the gap to “deceptive behavior” that can be observed, recognized, and verbalized in the carrying out of their duties, or while testifying in court. Allow your department to benefit from our specialized training.
Two versions are available, one for Law Enforcement and Government Authorities, and the other for Non Law Enforcement Agencies that share security responsibilities within the Transportation Industry.

Improving Border Security
Cayman Islands Government – 30 November 2007
Border security in the Cayman Islands has been strengthened with the training of 23 officers in the use of observational techniques and behavioural analysis. A group of 18 immigration officers, three members of the Royal Cayman Islands Police Service, and two officers from HM Prisons Northward have been trained in the science of utilising observational techniques and behavioural analysis to identify passengers who could pose potential security risk at the island’s port of entries.
Chief Immigration Officer Franz Manderson said that such training is relevant in a time of heightened security globally. He said that in today’s environment officers had to be routinely prepared to respond to potential threats to border security whether at the Islands’ airports or at the seaports. The training is effective in “streamlining passenger inspection flow by identifying with increased speed and accuracy that minute percentage of individuals who may require closer scrutiny, detection and apprehension.”

Border Security Training For Law Enforcement
Radio Cayman - 06/12/2007
Border security in the Cayman Islands and many countries utilize the techniques routinely to combat drug smuggling, terrorism, and illegal immigration; to strengthen airline and airport security; and in general law enforcement procedures. Mr. Ellis said the system is currently being used by the United States Department of Homeland Security, and the US Department of Customs and Border Protection to assess and evaluate passenger behaviour and to determine appropriate actions.
The Deputy Chief Immigration Officer in charge of Border Security, Mr. Bruce Smith, said that the intensive five-day course will assist officers involved in border security to be more effective in carrying out their functions of protecting the territory’s borders.
